The Caterthuns, Brechin, UK
View on Map
Take in the spectacular views from two of the most impressive Iron Age hilltop enclosures in Scotland.
The Brown and White Caterthuns are a pair of large hill forts on adjacent hills overlooking Strathmore.
The Brown Caterthun is defended by four earth ramparts and ditches, and the White has a massive stone rampart, a ditch and outer ramparts.
Both are enclosed by a series of earthworks, and it is likely they served both as military and ceremonial centres.
